ACTS 8: 1 – 3; 9: 1 – 6

 

Paul’s Early Life

Paul was also called Saul. Paul was his Roman’s name while Saul his Jewish’ name.  At that time the Romans who ruled over Palestine as part of the Roman Empire, allowed foreigners to buy Roman citizenship and enjoy certain rights. Paul was born a Roman citizen in Tarsus, the capital of the Roman province of Cilicia and the residence of the governor. Paul being the ringleader led the Jews to stone Stephen to death.

Paul’s Persecution of the Church

Immediately Stephen died, there was mass persecution against members of the early Church in Jerusalem. Many of the Christians were killed. Paul was at the forefront of the persecution, killing or dragging many Christians from their homes to prison.

Some of those who survived the persecution fled to places in Judea and Samaria. However, the apostles remained in Jerusalem. After Paul had persecuted the Christians in Jerusalem, he heard that many of them had fled Jerusalem to places like Damascus, in faraway Syria.
